    Drop time for a BH77 backhoe?

    I have a L3901 with the BH77 backhoe. When I first got the tractor with backhoe attachment, I thought the drop time was about 2 days until it touched the ground (2 yrs ago). Now, after turning tractor off, after about 6 hrs it's already down. Is this normal? I called the dealer I got tractor...
